Good enough flow means no classification. If I have to carry long distance, or have low flow, then maybe to 1/2", but never smaller. Great sluice box.

I agree with Jesse. I shovel directly into mine. I shake about half the material off the shovel into the sluice, wait a few seconds, then drop the rest in

Also you can clean it out directly into a 14" pan...no bucket or bin needed!

next time!

PS it was gorgeous out there today! Notice the debris in the bushes about 4-5 feet above the normal water level (right over the creek in the second pic). When we have a big storm, this creek really rocks!

Update on yesterday's outing:
First, the fine gold dancing out of the -50 material. Learn to do the shake and tap method folks!


Second the clean gold in the little soap dish I use for final cleaning




Third, the weight. A new in- town record for me...in about 1.5 hrs of digging




...you won't be surprised to learn my wife just suggested we change our schedule for the rest of today...I'm heading right back to that spot!!!
